Later, I became the prince of the group

The queen kept what she said, and three days later, Chu Yan discovered that there was a beautiful girl...and a boy in his yard for no reason.

At that time, he was looking through the classics of the Ministry of Rites in his study, and just learned that in this world, there are not a few men who talk about marriage, and they are quite particular——

If the status of the two parties is the same, you can even marry another woman to have a special child. If the relationship is strong and you don't want another woman, you can also adopt a relative's child.

If the identities of the two parties are different, it is likely that one of them is serving the emperor, or the party with high status and authority will then accept women into the door, leaving behind a son and a half daughter.

It is not uncommon for two women to be together, but it is very rare, and most of them come from noble families. After all, women from commoner families cannot support a large family, and there must be a man in the family to do hard work.

Hearing the report from outside, at first glance, he was still a little dazed.

"I've seen the First Prince." The maids said delicately, "The Empress called servants to serve you."

They didn't say how to serve, but the overly delicate makeup and shy posture are self-evident.

In contrast, the few teenagers in the back were dressed normally, with nervous expressions, and a little reserved, which made Chu Yan feel more pleasing to the eye.

So he couldn't help but linger on the young men for a while, and then he pretended to be stupid and said: "Go back, everyone, and tell the queen mother that the dozens of servants sent over a few days ago are enough to order, and there is no need to add more people. Even if I come, I can't afford to support you."

The palace maid had an incredulous expression on her face, and was about to explain that she was not used to work, when she saw that the eldest prince had turned around and waved his hand backwards, looking tired and unwilling to say any more, so she left silently full of regrets .

Unexpectedly, the queen also pretended to be stupid, and deliberately interpreted the meaning of rejection as "unsatisfactory", and then sent him in front of him in the next few days.

Chu Yan had no choice but to deal with it and pointed out a tall man who was not very happy at first glance. As soon as the queen's person left on the front foot, he sent the man out of the palace along with the others to help him repair the mansion. went.

The only ones staying in the palace for the time being are the three servants besides Xinqing, who followed "Xinqing" and named them "Chousheng", "Xingning" and "Xiangying".

Just when the arrangements were almost made, the emperor's people also arrived.

The eunuch announced that Chu Yan would be named Prince An. Generally, princes who reached the age of 16 in the palace would be crowned princes. Counting that Chu Yan was overage, he also made up for the princely standard salary and rewards that were missing in the previous two years.

In the end, the emperor took out his own private treasury and gave him some items for his new mansion that had not yet been built.

Chu Yan touched the title, probably the emperor's father didn't have any expectations of him.

He is kind to him now, but he just thinks of the old things, and feels sorry for his son for a while.

When Emperor Chengxing got used to it, the son would be dispensable.

The more Chu Yan thinks about it, the more he feels that he is not a good "King of An". It's okay now. Everyone knows that he is ignorant and poor. He can only be a safe and peaceful king. In case I learn something in the future, then this "An" is the "An" of "An Fen"...

No, even if he didn't learn anything, as long as he is old enough, not only the current emperor, but the future emperor, can he not be afraid of him?

The eldest son, the first prince, Chu Yan felt that these two titles were placed on his head, and he simply wanted his life.

So it's better to quickly establish a good relationship with the brothers... It's strange.

Nowadays, all the younger brothers who are old enough are not bears!

When the younger brothers came to the door by themselves, Chu Yan was a little ignorant - it was not easy for concubines to come forward to congratulate the king, but the younger brothers were about to fill up the small hall.

Since I came to congratulate, I couldn't just stare like this, but Chu Yan didn't talk anymore except for saying "huh" when everyone said "Congratulations".

The atmosphere fell into a mysterious embarrassment, the third prince coughed to end the silence, and spoke on behalf of everyone in a dignified manner: "The last time I came, my elder brother recovered from a serious illness and was still in bed, so I don't want to bother you too much. Today, my elder brother looks good. Let's It’s rare to get together, why don’t we find something interesting to do?”

Chu Rui is not the oldest among the younger brothers, but he is the first son, that is, Chu Yan's own younger brother.

He has just turned 14 years old this year, and he lives with his brothers who have not yet opened a mansion. He is the heart of Emperor Chengxing.

He looks like a dog, and he talks like a dog, as if he is not the only one who has bullied the idiot brother before.

It wasn't the current Chu Yan who was being bullied, but he was still indifferent: "No, watching monkeys in this room is quite interesting."

Brothers: "..."

Chu Rui laughed twice: "It seems that the elder brother is not interested, so don't disturb the elder brother." After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left, the murderous intent was hidden in the floating hem, which made the young brothers next to him shiver. one time.

Chu Yan didn't mind, put down the teacup slowly, and called a few more people's names: "These younger brothers must be busy with business, and this king will not waste your time, Xinqing, see off the guests."

So he got angry again.

The remaining two younger ones looked at each other, not knowing how to react for a while, but Chu Yan didn't chase them away this time, so he asked Xinqing to serve a few plates of pastries, and shared some among them.

"The queen mother entrusted someone to send it. It's not bad. If you like it, take some away."

The two children thanked him politely, and then secretly looked at him. After a long time, one of the boys asked uncertainly, "Are you really taking it?"

Chu Yan smiled: "Of course, is elder brother such a stingy person?"

The two children were quite happy, each wrapped a plate and asked the personal eunuch to carry it away.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xinqing became bolder: "That's a pastry made by the empress herself, Your Highness hasn't eaten a few pieces yet..."

Chu Yan didn't know what he meant, so he pushed the plate to him: "Eat it, I don't like this food."

I don't know if he is picky or what, if he can eat ordinary food, but these small snacks that others think are delicious, he thinks they are very ordinary, saying "not bad" is ignorant of conscience compliments.

Seeing that he was really not interested, Xinqing immediately beamed with joy, and quickly picked up the pastry: "The servant took it to eat with Chousheng and the others?"

Chu Yan snorted: "Take care of your mouth, don't talk nonsense in the future, go."

"Yes Yes!"

When the door was closed tightly, Chu Yan quietly recalled the poison.

At that time, I didn't think there was anything wrong. The original body died from eating poison by mistake. To put it bluntly, it was due to dementia. Even if he ate and drank well, there was no guarantee that such problems would not occur.

But why did the poison appear on the maid beside him, and who was it going to poison?

Chu Yan didn't think anyone would take the risk of being strictly investigated to poison a useless prince. It seemed unnecessary to poison the queen mother, who has ignored current affairs for many years.

Then the court lady may come into contact with people from the Queen's side.

Sometimes the queen asked the kitchen to cook something delicious, and when she thought of her eldest son, she would ask the maids around him to go to the small kitchen of Fengyi Palace and bring a small portion back.

As for getting in front of the original body...it all depends on luck.

However, the fights in the harem are nothing more than fights for favor, miscarriages, framing, etc. Even if they want to poison people to death, they may not attack the powerful queen.The empress has a gentle personality, at least she has never treated any of the concubines too harshly, and there is no personal enmity with others. Besides, the Xu family behind the empress is still in full swing, so getting rid of a empress is of little use.

It's not for the queen, so it can only be for Chu Rui?

Except for Chu Rui, the second and fourth princes who have a chance to win the throne are counted, and the biological mothers of these two are also of relatively high status and capable of doing these tricks.

If this line of thinking is correct, then the perpetrator is probably either the noble concubine or the de concubine.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there is a possibility that a certain prince has misbehavior. There are many brothers in the emperor's generation. Hold the military power and station in the frontier, or live a wealthy life in the fief.

Now that there is nothing in the frontier, the people are peaceful and happy, and the capital is full of flowers and flowers. These people must have had some free time. Didn’t they see that there were only two people who kidnapped him...

Thinking about it again, Chu Rui really had to kowtow a few times for his elder brother.

It's a pity that Chu Yan didn't know who the palace maid who hid the poison was. If they were tied up one by one to extract confessions, firstly, they might not be able to find out. They had no choice but to write down all the people who lived in that room on the list, and they were shot together that night to eliminate this hidden danger.

Although Chu Rui left angrily, he only left the side hall.

Even though they are all in the palace, this younger brother is very busy. Except for saying hello every morning, the queen doesn't even look at him. It is rare for him to have free time. Of course, he has to stay in the palace for a meal.

Since mother and son are going to eat at the same table, can Chu Yan not be invited?

So Chu Yan nailed it to the chair and enjoyed the mother-son harmony.

In front of Chu Rui, the queen has all the characteristics of a mother, expectations, distress, tolerance, teaching, and appropriate but caring reprimands... Even Shengtang is done by herself.

After serving Chu Rui the soup, the queen seemed to think of Chu Yan, and served him a bowl too.

Chu Yan didn't refuse, but just remembered the dead soul.

He must have enjoyed such love before he was five years old.

do not blame me.Chu Yan thought silently.Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you are still a foolish prince who is not favored.

Those palace people who treated you harshly have already been executed with sticks, and I will find out for you those who actually placed the poison, and I will find out for you one by one those who have bullied you.

As for your cruel parents and your younger brother, no matter how much you resent, you will never want to hurt them.

It's better to leave these to God's will, and believe that he can give you justice again.

Go with peace of mind, your next life will be safe and sound, and there will be no more troubles.

Chu Yan laughed, he never felt that he was a sentimental person, but he really couldn't stand on the sidelines with this person who borrowed his body.

His smile was not at the right time.

Chu Rui was mentioning that he was the best at riding and shooting, and when he heard this laughter, he couldn't help but think it was a sneer.

He didn't even call him "big brother", and put on a detached address: "Brother Dahuang can come to school too."

The queen finally remembered this: "That's right, Ah Yan, your father told me earlier that when you are in better health, you will study with the other princes. You can also go to the South Study Room tomorrow to listen to it?"

Chu Yan raised his eyes and slowly chewed the meat in his mouth: "Okay."

The queen wanted to let the two brothers cultivate a relationship, and said: "A Rui Duo take care of your brother."

Hearing this, Chu Rui also took the opportunity to retaliate with a sneer: "Don't worry, Auntie, after all, Brother Dahuang... As a younger brother, of course I have to take care of him."

Chu Yan put down his chopsticks: "That's troublesome. It just so happens that I don't know the way and I'm afraid of strangers. You can pick me up tomorrow."

He bit the words "still afraid of life" very hard, and Chu Rui paused: "Sure, tomorrow, I will pick you up in person."

Chu Rui had no good intentions, and neither did Chu Yan.

The former had just passed Yinshi, so he sent his servants to Fengyi Palace to quarrel Chu Yan.

Xinqing came out of the house and yawned: "What's your name?"

The servant: "My third prince has arrived, can the eldest prince get up?"

Xinqing glanced at him: "It's King An, wait."

This wait is an hour.

When Chu Rui arrived, he heard that Chu Yan hadn't gotten up yet, so he broke into the door directly.As soon as he broke into the inner room, he felt a little sleepy, fell on the bed and rested for half an hour, and was finally woken up by the servant.

This would be a waste of time.

When they got to the South Study Room, as expected, they saw that Chu Yan was already sitting in it.

He was so angry that he didn't dare to be disrespectful to his elder brother in front of the prince's young master. He received a few mild reprimands and then sat back in his seat.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old prince has already learned practical strategies. It is reasonable to say that Chu Yan can't keep up, so the prince's young teacher didn't care about him. Instead, he gave him the three-piece set of enlightenment and let him read it slowly.

While watching and listening, Chu Yan was right on both sides.

He almost has the ability of photographic memory. After listening to and reading it again, he can basically remember the general idea. Even if he doesn't understand the meaning of some obscure words and sentences, he can immediately understand the whole text after looking it up.This should not be the original body's ability, but his own ability, because in his mind, there is still a lot of knowledge that has nothing to do with this world, and it only needs to be thought back for a while to be very clear.

In the morning, the young master of the prince took the princes to review the old and learn the new, practice the basics, check and recite, and the older princes had to write articles. knowledge or skill.

Chu Yan still remembers the two teachers. These two were chosen by the emperor for the original body. The teacher of all the princes.

Before Chu Yan fully recovered, he moved a stool and sat in a place sheltered from the wind, eating cakes that were not very tasty but his brothers still had to eat them firmly in order to be disgusted, and shivered them in the cold wind. The appearance of sweating at the same time should be appreciated.

As soon as the application time passed, Chu Rui approached and offered to take Chu Yan to visit the Qingju Palace where the princes lived.

"I've never seen an older brother who drugged my younger brother." After avoiding people, Chu Rui said through gritted teeth.

After listening to his accusation of hundreds of words, Chu Yan said lightly: "I don't sleep well, and I use the tranquilizing incense to help sleep. The medicinal properties are indeed a bit strong. If I remember correctly, the incense is only in the middle. What are you doing in there?"

"What are you doing with your brother?" Chu Rui was incoherent with anger, "You kept me waiting for so long, and you still don't allow me to go in and find you?"

Chu Yan chuckled: "Really? Why did Xinqing say that you only arrived at Mao?"

Chu Rui choked and couldn't speak for a while, but suddenly realized after a while that Chu Yan had gone out in the middle of the night, where did the "Xin Qing said".

"you……"

"I'm not familiar with the road." Chu Yan interrupted him first, "But I've seen the map. If you are going to Qingju Palace, you have to turn at the intersection just now."

Chu Rui turned around seriously: "I'm not talking to you, I forgot to watch the road."

After walking for a while, Chu Yan said, "The next thing is that you left something in the South Study Room, so you want to go back and get it?"

Chu Rui: "..."

He originally thought that this stupid emperor brother should be easy to deceive, and tricked him into the concubine's palace to play tricks on him, and when he came out and couldn't find his way, he would ask his eunuch to "pass by" and lead him the way.

The palace is so big, it won't be a problem to go around for half an hour.

But this was the morning plan, and it didn't work until now, and it was seen through by Chu Yan. Chu Rui gritted his teeth and had to lead Chu Yan to visit the Qingju Palace smoothly with a face of reluctance.

Qingju Palace is formed by merging several palaces. A prince like Chu Rui occupies a large courtyard alone, and the younger ones live together.

Perhaps because of the large number of princes, Emperor Chengxing came here often.

Chu Yan was still in Chu Rui's yard when he heard a little guy shouting from a long distance: "Father is here."

If he still dared to shout, he hadn't come yet, and he probably saw it from afar.

Chu Yan touched the chessboard on the stone table nonchalantly, then picked up the chess pieces and touched them.

Chu Rui proudly said: "Bai Yu made it. My father specially asked someone to play for me. You put the chess pieces back to the position just now, and my second brother and I will continue."

Chu Yan was a little surprised. The second prince was the son of the noble concubine. He heard that the empress and the noble concubine were in the same situation back then, and the two natal families also had a mutual check and balance, and the relationship was not pleasing to each other. close?

Chu Yan watched the chess game for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand to mess it up: "You played so badly, what is there to continue."

"What are you doing!" Chu Rui subconsciously wanted to protect the chessboard, but it was already too late, the pieces were so messed up that he couldn't even put them back in place, and a few pieces splashed on the ground, Chu Yan pretended to "Oh", and lowered his head to pick it up. His long sleeves were stained with dirt, making him look a bit embarrassed.

He put the chess piece back on the chessboard, slightly hooked the corner of his mouth with an indistinct mockery, and lowered his voice calmly: "Instead of playing against Chu He, you might as well find a Go master, maybe it will be beneficial to you .”

Chu Rui couldn't help raising his hand, and stayed in the air for a moment. Fortunately, he remembered in time that the person in front of him was no longer the stupid brother who would not complain, but the majestic King An, so he let the slap fall back on the table: "Shut you up!" What's the matter? Do you really think that you are my brother and can teach me a lesson? If you have the ability, come and do it!"

Chu Yan's eyelids trembled, he lowered his head, and his voice suddenly softened: "It's not that the third brother doesn't know how I have lived these years. Of course I don't know how to play chess."

Chu Rui was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Looking back, Emperor Chengxing only brought the great eunuch Liang Ye, standing in front of the round arched gate.

"I think you owe a lesson!"

"..."

It can be said that everything was not going well for Chu Rui this day.

Even though Emperor Chengxing just reprimanded him a few words, and tested his homework for a period of time, all kinds of small dissatisfaction accumulated and became major dissatisfaction.

Not to mention that when he was caught and scolded by Emperor Chengxing involuntarily, Chu Yan, the culprit, would sit leisurely on the stone bench and play with his precious chessboard, giving him half-smiley eyes from time to time, which was very annoying .

It's a pity that my father is blind, so he couldn't see that Chu Yan was just pretending!

Chu Rui tried to explain to no avail, and did not dare to say that Emperor Chengxing was wrong, so he had to hold his nose and bear it.

When Emperor Chengxing left, he took Chu Yan away, and Chu Rui felt aggrieved, so he went to the courtyard next door to find the second prince, Chu He, and scolded his brother angrily for half an hour.

After returning to the yard, he remembered that his precious white jade chess piece had not been confiscated, and he went over to see it, and couldn't help being stunned.

On the chessboard is clearly the unfinished game of chess!

Although he couldn't remember the details, but looking at the chessboard at this moment, he was almost sure that the positions of the black and white pieces were exactly the same as before the mess!
